The squadron, which holds both P-3 and P-8 responsibilities was scrutinized down to the last nut and bolt as part of the annual inspection process covering all shops and programs.

The arrival of the Aviation Maintenance Inspection (AMI) team brings equal measures of excitement and tension to a squadron eager to prove its status as the standard for the fleet.

The Pro’s Nest rose to the challenge and received a sterling review from their evaluators.

Occurring around the same time as AMI, the Conventional Weapons Technical Proficiency Inspection (CWTPI) looks more specifically into the ordnance and weapons departments with an equal level of detail.

In the wake of these evaluations and their immensely positive results, Whitehead proudly awarded 16 Sailors and 11 civilians in front of their peers.
